ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that the Falcons have agreed to send DeAngelo Hall to Oakland for the Raiders' 2008 second-round pick.

The Raiders must first finalize a contract with Hall that will pay him just below what Asante Samuel singed with the Eagles. This one might fall under the category of "be careful what you wish for." If Hall wasn't happy playing for the Falcons organization, welcome to Crazy Al's Raiders.



good luck with that..

i think oakland will have a top defense..but still gotta work on that O

Oakland is like the purgatory for the NFL. In any case, they have invested heavily on their defensive backfield. Who knows... they might turn it around someday.....

Falcons CB DeAngelo Hall refuted an ESPN report that he will be traded to the Raiders.

"Somebody's throwing something out there," Hall told the Atlanta Journal Constitution on Saturday afternoon. Neither Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff nor Hall's agent have returned phone calls

That quote from Hall was actually taken from the NFL Combine... Last Month.

Hall is an excellent corner, but he can't always handle physical receivers like TO. And tell me, how many corners out there DON'T get roasted by Owens? Hall is a very good corner, bottom line, but he's definitely not a shutdown guy.

This is a really good pickup for the Raiders talent-wise, but this also makes the most dysfunctional team in the NFL a lot more dysfunctional. I'm going to go ahead and predict a knife fight will occur in the Raiders locker room before the next season is over.

I'd trade a second for him. With him and Michael Huff and Kirk Morrison, I like their D. Maybe that O with JaMarcus Russell (thats a big maybe) RB (Dominic Rhodes, MIchael Bush, Justin Fargas), and a WR corps that COULD be good (Javon Walker, Joey Porter, Ronald Curry, Johnny Lee Higgans) and that young TE (Zach Miller) can step it up.

Nnamdi Asomugha, who is a shutdown corner, will cover teams number 1, Hall will actually be covering number 2. Huff shutdown tight ends last year, plus they added Gibril Wilson.

Not a shabby secondary.

Maybe instead of blaming Moss, you can blame the coach who decided to hire an offensive coordinator who had spent the past decade running a Bed N Breakfast.

And Jerry Porter was the one causing problems that year, not Randy Moss.

I read that if they give Hall the contract he's looking for, it might mean they have to remove the franchise tag off of Asomugha and let him be a free agent just cuz they can't afford him.

If that happens, bad move. Hall is a downgrade from Asomugha. But they might be able to keep both.

2. I think if the Raiders pay DeAngelo Hall in the range of $9 million a year, they will officially be Daniel Snyder West. Ask opponents if Hall is a premier corner. I did over the weekend, promising anonymity. Got this text from an offensive coach on an NFC South staff: "Avg w flash & big play ability. Don't know how good he wants to be. Classic Oakland. Does have ability tho.'' One defensive assistant told me: "He's above average, but he sees himself as elite. This leads to problems.''

At least Asante Samuel was a major contributor to a three-time Super Bowl team before he got his payday. Hall's not as consistent, and a streaky corner can be a dangerous corner. If the Raiders pay Hall in the Samuel-Nate Clements league, I will have no idea why, other than they'd be paying star money to an immature kid for potential.

Neither of them were really causing problems. The media just overblew that one time when the cameras saw Porter laughing on the sideline shortly after Aaron Brooks was sacked, and it was completely blown out of proportion. The problem was the coaching. It has always been coaching, not talent or players, ever since Jon Gruden left.

Well, first of all we know how smart you are about football stuff and how blindly you support members of your 18-1 squad and never get made fun of for being a complete idiot, however its obvious you know nothing of THIS situation. Ask Chris Meyers who did a weekly segment with Moss in Oakland how sold he was on Oakland, publically saying how the coaches were idiots and how his team mates sucked and whatnot. Whereas it might be true, I don't think you can't say that going public like that weekly, airing your team's dirty laundry, is not causing problems.

But then, you prolly didn't know that before you showed your ass, did you?

At that point, just about everyone on the team was frustrated and talking about how idiotic the coaches were and such. Because it was true. If they had a better coach, then none of this would have ever happened. Like I said earlier... after Jon Gruden left, the team never had a good coach that was respectable, and respectful to the players as well. They never had a coach that really kept the team disciplined. Let's see what happens here in the near future...

Tom Brady is critical of probably the best coach & front office in the NFL. Randy Moss was critical of arguably the worst. There's no comparison?

Randy Moss was criticizing a coach stupid enough to hire an offensive coordinator who was completely out of football and RUNNING A BED & BREAKFAST FOR THE PAST DECADE, alright? He'd be stupid to fall in line what that pathetic excuse of a coach.

to me that is the problem. If I am correct Nnamdi has the Franchise tag on him this year, in order for the raiders to extend him out further I am sure he will be looking for a 7 year, 85 million dollar deal. He is younger and Better than hall. If the raiders don't step up he will play this year for 10 mil and get his money in free agency next year, thus leaving the raiders with just hall. This is typical of the raiders, sign big name free agents and push the envelope to much with their own players and lose them to other teams. reminds me a lot of the Charles Woodson situations.

By Jim Trotter, SI.com

The Raiders continued to run into roadblocks in their quest to finalize a trade for Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall.

It was thought that when Hall arrived in Oakland on Wednesday it would be to sign a contract that would make him the league's highest-paid cornerback and clear the way for him to be sent to the Raiders for second- and sixth-round draft choices.

But after spending 4˝ hours with owner Al Davis, Hall emerged Wednesday night without an agreement. And if a deal is not consummated Thursday, it's possible the Raiders might end the talks and move on, a club source said Wednesday night.

Hall has expressed a desire to join the Raiders during his talks with many of the team's core players. But his representatives and the team are said to be at odds over the structure of the contract.

Hall, who would team with Nnamdi Asomugha in Oakland to form one of the league's top cornerback tandems, has one year remaining on his rookie contract and it's highly unlikely any team would trade for him without first coming to terms on a new multiyear contract.

Hall remained in Oakland overnight and is scheduled to talk with club officials again Thursday.

Funny, all I had to do to find some good stuff was google "Randy Moss" "Raiders" and "animosity"



BRING BACK THAT LOVING FEELIN'...OH THAT LOVIN' FEELING ~ While chatting with Fox Sports' Chris Meyers about the current state of affairs in the Raider Nation, Randy Moss had this to say: "I'm doing good, man. I'm not even that too concerned with football right now. I'm just loving life." Meyers forced the issue with Moss given his lackadaisical attitude and wondered if an apparent lack of interest in the team was common amongst the Raiders. "I don't really want to single players out. I mean, I don't really know what the feeling is", Moss said. "But I know the feeling is bad, so that's saying no one cares about what's going on around here. I've said a few things. I've done most of the things I can do, and my thing is, if it's going to be relaxed, if I'm relaxed, then I guess that's what it is."


Moss also comes to New England with the warning that, as Bill Parcells used to say, the light is yellow and ready to turn red. The Patriots have notified Moss that under no circumstance will they tolerate any of the transgressions that have marked his career. The first controversial incident that Moss is involved in will be his last. The Patriots insist they will release him.


Randy Moss. Not for what he's doing this year, but for what he did when he was with the Raiders and towards the end of his time with the Vikings


Maybe those Randy Moss warnings were true. Maybe he is a me-first, fragile troublemaker.

The only bitch here is you they way you keep crying and spinning. Everytime I read one of your threads I get this image of of a little snotty 12-year old girl all pissy screaming, "Nuh-uh!"

The total complete funniest thing about this whole deal is the way you protect Moss like you are shining his pole every night as if he were a bright shining pillar in the community.

You know Randy Moss:
- Signed letter of intent with ND but was subsequently revoked his scholarship after pleading guilty to battery, and received probation along with a 30-day suspended jail sentence for taking part in a racially-charged fight at his high school that left one person hospitalized.
- After transferring to Florida State, while serving his 30-day jail sentence in a work-release program from 1995, Moss tested positive for smoking marijuana, thus violating his probation, and was let go by Florida State.
- He served an additional 60 days in jail for the probation violation.
- Was fined $40,000, which was later reduced to $25,000 due to squirting an NFL referee with a water bottle.
- In 1997 Claimed the Marshall plane crash, "was a tragedy, but it really wasn't nothing big."
- On September 24, 2002 in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, Moss was driving and was preparing to make an illegal turn. A traffic control officer, noticing what he was about to do, stood in front of his car, ordering him to stop. Moss did not comply with the officer's order, and she was bumped by his vehicle and fell to the ground. Moss was arrested, and a search of his vehicle revealed a small amount of marijuana. Moss pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor traffic violation and was ordered to pay a $1,200 fine and perform 40 hours of community service after reaching a plea deal.
- During the last game of the 2004 regular season against the Washington Redskins and with two seconds remaining on the game clock, Moss walked off the field and into the locker room.
- On January 9, 2005 Moss trotted to the end zone goalpost after catching a TD in GB in a playoff game; facing away from the crowd, he feigned pulling down his pants, and pretended to moon the Green Bay fans. NFL fined him $10,000, finding it "unsportsmanlike" and "offensive" during the playoffs.
- In August 2005, during an interview with Bryant Gumbel, Moss admitted that he has smoked marijuana during his NFL career "every blue moon."
- On November 14, 2006 Moss responded to questions about his dropped passes and lackluster effort in several games, saying "Maybe because I'm unhappy and I'm not too much excited about what's going on, so, my concentration and focus level tend to go down sometimes when I'm in a bad mood." Moss made similar comments during his tenure with the Vikings, when he infamously proclaimed, "I play when I want to play."

Real upstanding fellow.

The reason you won't find any quotes against him by his team mates is because they are more professional than him.

It's pretty hard to find a team mate trash talking another player. Last time it happened with high profile players in the NFL was the great TO and McNabb drama.

- On January 9, 2005 Moss trotted to the end zone goalpost after catching a TD in GB in a playoff game; facing away from the crowd, he feigned pulling down his pants, and pretended to moon the Green Bay fans. NFL fined him $10,000, finding it "unsportsmanlike" and "offensive" during the playoffs.
- In August 2005, during an interview with Bryant Gumbel, Moss admitted that he has smoked marijuana during his NFL career "every blue moon."
- On November 14, 2006 Moss responded to questions about his dropped passes and lackluster effort in several games, saying "Maybe because I'm unhappy and I'm not too much excited about what's going on, so, my concentration and focus level tend to go down sometimes when I'm in a bad mood." Moss made similar comments during his tenure with the Vikings, when he infamously proclaimed, "I play when I want to play."

Real upstanding fellow.

The reason you won't find any quotes against him by his team mates is because they are more professional than him.
I never said he was a model citizen or a great teammate. I just said the problem with the Raiders was the coaches.

Great research by the way. Not everyone is as skilled at copying Wikipedia and pasting it in message boards as their own. And in none of the preceding bullshit did I find ONE SINGLE PIECE OF LEGIT EVIDENCE that Randy Moss created animosity on the Raiders LIKE YOU CLAIMED.

You can't back up your claim, you lose, thanks for playing.

It's pretty hard to find a team mate trash talking another player. Last time it happened with high profile players in the NFL was the great TO and McNabb drama.
That's not the point. The point is that Mr. Douchenozzle claimed that Randy Moss was the problem with the Raiders, and that there was evidence he created animosity within the team. He's done absolutely nothing to back up his claim. But I suppose that's too much to expect from an Okie State grad, the red headed stepchild of the Big 12.

Yeah I was just making a generic comment.

Actually that is the point. Unfortunately monobrainwavic can't see past the wart on his nose.

No wonders everyone in the NBA forum thinks you are an idiot.

Actually it isn't. You said Randy Moss created animosity and have zero proof of that. Not one shred of proof. Your argument is completely failed, your proof is nonexistent, your efforts to paint Randy Moss as the big bad team killer who ruined the Raiders are all for naught. Anybody with half a fucking brain understands that the Raiders were done in by the most epic lame duck coaching staff ever assembled. Everybody gets this except you.

You've gotten to the point where you completely avoid the subject at hand and resort to non-sequiturs that might take away the sting of your complete failure in this thread. But take heart, you root for Oklahoma State so you're used to failure.

Here's a list of everybody from the Raiders who are on record that Randy Moss created animosity within the team.



feel free to add whatever you possibly can to that list, since you're the one making the claim.

Thanks.
I still see no change to the list. Incredible. He "ruins" a team and there isn't one person of note within the organization calling him out on it. What a team killer.

It goes hand in hand with being a cancer. Im sure if Moss had signed with another team you'd be bashing the shit out of him. Thats they type of fan you strike me as.

He was a fucking quitter.Moss pulled a big time bitch move by quitting on his team and to say his actions didn't have an effect on his team is idiotic.

Thats they type of fan you strike me as.Would it surprise you that he only claimed the Patriots once the Moss trade talks started? Or was it once they caught cheating?

It would surprise the hell out of me because I wasn't even posting in the NFL Forum back then. Your revisionist history is fucking hilarious. Pull some more bullshit out of your ass while you're at it.

I'm a Raider fan, and I even disagree that he created animosity or anything on the team. I felt that he really wanted to be able to succeed with this team, but the FO and coaching was so freaking horrible that he knew there was no chance of getting anywhere anytime soon with this team, and that his career isn't going to last a whole heck of a lot longer. I really wish we could have kept him, as him and Jamarcus Russell could have been a nice combo, but oh well.

BTW - his trade in itself proves how fucking stupid and horrible this FO and coaching staff has been.
